Good on you! I also waited a year to move because my son was doing well...(ADHD though), but I moved back to a place I knew and was comfortable working in.
Look around if you are planning, apply online for jobs...(what professions are you looking to do?), you don't actually have to show up if you get a better offer.
Ask around, anywhere... online... heck here in this forum is a good spot too, lots of folks can feed you a bit of info on places around the states.
I prefer here though....
